Members of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme

The Single Public Service Pension Scheme does not at present accept inward transfers of pension savings from other pension schemes. Subject to feasibility confirmation, the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform is planning to make available both purchase and transfer arrangements in the Single Scheme as soon as possible. It is hoped that details of the planned purchase and transfer arrangements can be finalised and announced later this year.
